Simple solution

I have a simple solution to the delegate dilemma facing the Democratic National Committee.

Split the number of delegates in Florida and Michigan down the middle, giving each candidate a half, and have them all seated. It would be fair to both candidates, and the state would be penalized for holding an early primary. If the DNC should warn renegade states that this will be the result if they disobey party rules and hold early primaries, they would be more inclined to toe the line.
